Washed Out has rescheduled for Thursday, February 10th

Tight Bros and Ok Productions presents

Washed Out on Thursday, February 10th, 2011, this is the rescheduled show for the cancelled show that was to occur on Tuesday, January 18th.



Washed Out is Ernest Greene, a young guy from Georgia (via South Carolina) who makes bedroom synthpop that sounds blurred and woozily evocative, like someone smeared Vaseline all over an early OMD demo tape, then stayed up all night trying to recreate what they heard. To hear Greene tell it, he’s only been making music as Washed Out for a couple of months. – Pitchfork

Soft Powers are the opener.



"Soft Powers is a band out of Suwannee, GA who met through a mutual friend in the middle of 2010 and have been collaborating together ever since. The group consists of Bo Fletcher on guitars/bass/drums/programming and Dylan Anderson on vocals/guitar/drums/programming. Released in August (2010), “Bad Pop” marks their impressive first full-length release.

The 8-song, 21-minute album can be best described as “art pop rock.” There is a fuzzy, grainy quality to the music (especially the vocals). Juxtaposed against the album’s dreamy pop foundation, the resulting sound is jarring but contagious. “Bad Pop” breaks down to a combination of catchy, upbeat drums, mixed with charming and over processed vocals, driven by a fat, funky bass line and pop friendly guitar melodies.

The album opens up with the head bobbing “Moon Culture,” immediately trapping listeners in the album. Next, the eclectic but irresistible “Strawberry Soup” continues the momentum with a tale about raining strawberry soup. After an abstract and entertaining interlude phone call to someone named Tim Durmah, “Dr. Phillip David Collins” sneaks in and implants one of those viral guitar riffs that seems to stick in the mind long after hearing the song.

The next three tracks flow in line with the previous four songs, setting up a powerful and resonating finish. “Mary Never Sings Our Songs” is the only down tempo song on the album but brings it to a calm, contemplative, and satisfying end. Ironically, Anderson sings “And maybe I could sing you a song, yeah such a boring one.”" - Christ Khodadadi / Atlanta Local Music Examiner
